veggie meatloaf recipe uk image
Char Webb
at college i get so bored, i bring the sam old lunches: sandwiches, crisps, a drink, and a chocolate bar. Anyone got any ideas of stuff i could bring to eat at college?
Answer
I would carefully consider your containers and get some insulated pieces. They will help you expand your food choices to keep hot and cold foods safe and yummy. Get double the amount you would carry so that you can have one set in use, and keep one set at home getting cleaned and chilled. Make sure everything is easy to clean and get a baby bottle brush and some white vinegar to help you keep everything fresh. To keep things clean run a sink of hot soapy water, add 2 cups of white vinegar and let your items soak. Then scrub them clean, rinse, and let them air dry.
You can start with 4-6 reusable drink bottles. 2-3 drinks packed per day will keep you away from the vending machines and coffee shops, saving money and allow you to choose healthier options. Add to that 2 insulated soup thermos, and some reusable disposable plastic containers with lids, some zipper bags, and 2 flexible, reusable ice packs...and 2 insulated lunch totes that fit half your gear in each. You can also get a stash of handi-wipes. These are a washable/reusable very sturdy paper towels, meant for household cleaning, but they work great for this, pack damp in a zipper bag to wipe your face. They can be discarded after a few uses. And tuck in a small bottle of hand sanitizer, and some washable plastic silverware.
With better containers you can make use of leftovers, take hot soup or pasta, etc, even a slice of meatloaf or a hunk of roast and mashed potatoes.
As for typical lunch food choices, you can pack fresh veggies...if you like to dip, slice your peppers, scallions, celery, carrots, in sticks and stick them straight up in a container (cut your food to fit that container) that has dip or hummus in the bottom...pull each piece out to find it pre dipped.
If you prefer a salad you eat with a fork, pack some chunked up salad veggies, some chilled pasta, some bottled salad dressing (or herbs and olive oil). Then when you sit down to eat, add a packet of tuna, chicken, a string cheese, or pepperoni, and toss it all together...packing your salad in an oversized container will allow you to add and stir easily.
You could swap out the pasta in the above recipe for chilled barley, rice, lentils, potatoes...or swap out the dressing for chilled marinara sauce.
Instead of chips/crisps you can try pita chips, crackers. They also make veggie poofs that are similar to cheetos. I wonder if you are from UK do you have these or know what I mean. You can also pack plain tortilla chips (instead of the spray painted flavored kind) and carry your own fresh bean dip or salsa. These are healthier and you get better flavor and variety.
For different sandwich options, switch our your bread for bagel, pita, tortilla, flatbread, or skip the bread altogether and pack all your sandwich fillings as a salad.
For drink options, you can buy juice box type containers of lots of things: milk, yoo-hoo chocolate drink, or buy drinkable yogurt or smoothies. You can also use your reusable containers to prepare yourself an iced tea or coffee, a lemonade, or powdered drink.
For dessert...fresh fruits! Grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, pear, peach can all be packed whole...or you can cut and bowl up some berries, melon, kiwi, papaya, mango, pineapple, mandarin oranges.
Other dessert...you can use purchased snack cakes, homemade cookies, make cheesecake cups, make caramel popcorn, make marshmallow treats with cereal, make a chocolate ganache and stuff to dip in it.
You can also freeze certain things. You can freeze pudding cups, yogurt cups, jello cups, and applesauce cups. Pack them frozen, they are cold and refreshing when you sit down to eat. They will help keep everything else cold. You can freeze drink bottles if they aren't all the way full.

Has anyone tried to take dairy out of their diet?
Lee S
Ive recently tried to cut dairy and beef products out of me and my familys diet. All of the recipes i tried to substitute with soy milk or water have turned out horrible. Can anyone give me any tips this is really stressing my out!!!
The recipes I have tried to substitute are
Aunt Jemima, Vegan Beef by Morninside(to make Fajitas), Jiffy Corn Bread Mix, Yellow Cake Mix, Vegan Meatloaf(using the Mccormick meatloaf Packet). Please give me any tips to help my food taste better or at least so my family will like my new cooking
Answer
I cut meat and dairy from my diet about a year ago.
I think your approach (ie. buying vegan versions of pre-packaged meals) is what is putting you off.
In my experience, anytime a company tries to 'veganize' one of their products, they taste disgusting. What you need to do is try making vegan meals from scratch.
I know that cooking meals from scratch sounds intimidating and time-consuming, but I promise it is easier than you think, and your cooking will taste INFINITELY better than anything you buy from a shop. For example, tonight for dinner I'm doing a vegan shepherd's pie... just substitute some canned lentils instead of beef, add lots of veggies, mashed potato, and ditch the cheese - it's actually quicker and easier than a traditional shepherd's pie, and it tastes great!
Here are a couple of recipe collections I like to use:
http://vegweb.com/index.php?action=recipecategories
http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk/recipeindex.html
You can also try googling your own dairy/ beef-free recipes, or checking some cookbooks out from the library. Have fun!

What is a good egg replacement when cooking vegan TVP burger patties? any recipes?
vegan meatloaf recipe tvp image
dolcezza20
I am just starting to cook with TVP granules and really would like to make some burger patties.
TVP - Texturized Vegetable Protein...
Answer
I am a former chef and when I make mine with TVP, I generally puree some of the veg in the food processor add some chickpeas and chickpea flour, even a bit of tahini sesame paste, available at Health food stores or any Indian market, even some whole wheat flour.
Also, at the health food store there is a protien powder made from veggies, it is a good binder for burger, veggie meatballs for spaghetti sauce and a meatloaf made with TVP, I use it at least once a week, and it is great in a veg chili too.

What are the benifits of becoming a vegetarian???
vegetarian meatloaf recipe with cottage cheese image
theraptor
I am interested in becoming a vegetarian. It is health driven as well as cruelty toward animals driven. Are the health benifits worth giving up meat? Also any advice to giving up meat would be appreciated and how to handle family situations when the rest of family and friends eat meat would be appreciated!!!!
Answer
Oh my gosh, some people are so silly. You can have a healthy diet as a vegetarian just like you can have one as a meat eater. I'm not a vegetarian but I do have a few vegetarian recipes that I use and my meat eating family loves them.
Stay away from the processed "fake meats" though, those aren't healthy by any stretch of the imagination. You can do wonders with tofu, and I even make a meatloaf with cottage cheese that is suprisingly good. Here's a few I use if you'd like to try them.

As for your family and friends, they'll get used to it eventually. My family freaked a bit when my sister went vegetarian but now everyone's used to it. Good luck to you!

What foods are really good for you?
Kelly
I want to eat healthy all the time now, but i want to know some good but healthy foods I can eat, instead of junk food. I love sweets and I need something healthy to replace that. I'm only giving up junk food and I'm also going to try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Thank you! <3
Answer
*Fish of any kind...broiled or baked (any way but fried), especially salmon, tuna, etc...My personal favorite is tilapia. Season with something like Ms.Dash, cayenne pepper, etc.
* I personally don't eat beef (I don't like the taste), and it's also an added benefit that in general turkey is healthier. To add, it's not that you should never eat beef, it's that you should try to cut back on it if you do eat it and replace with ground turkey. So when I do eat things that normally use beef like burgers, meatloaf, chili, etc, I just replace it with ground turkey. But in general, I probably eat more Morningstar Farm Grillers & Boca Burgers.(vegetarian burgers). You can buy them in bulk BJ's or Sam's Club or you can look up an easy recipe for black bean burgers online. The good thing about the mock veggie burgers, you not only get your protein, but you get some of your vegetable needs too.
*Eat lots of vegetables like kale, collards, swiss chard, spinach, carrots, cabbage, baked potatoes(to a minimum), cucumbers, cauliflower (cauliflower mock mashed potatoes are really easy & taste exactly like mashed potatoes to me) broccoli, peas, onions, sweet potatoes, etc...It really just depends on what you like.
The same goes for fruit, whatever you like...Apples, bananas, strawberries, plums, grapes, mangoes, peaches, etc.
*Salads-Add things like beans, chicken, eggs, avocado, or canned tuna, for protein; & sprouts, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, corn, mandarin oranges, pineapple, apples, nuts, etc...Basically, you can add any fruit or vegetable you like. Just remember to keep your salad dressing healthy & try to make it a well-rounded salad/meal. Just google 'how to make a healthy salad' or 'what vegetables to add to salad', or something similar. I also love spinach salads & fruit salads. You can look up recipes online & tweak them to fit your own personal preference. Watch out for the heavy dressings. For instance, when I'm tired, I just make a spinach salad with walnuts, spinach, and strawberries & my dressing of choice instead of following a recipe.
It goes without saying to eat whole grains such as brown rice & wheat bread. I also eat low-fat cottage cheese (I don't dislike it, but for some reason, I can't just eat it plain, I have to mix it with peanut butter and honey, but you can eat it however you prefer). & I also drink lots of herbal teas, only sweetened with honey, but you can also use any type of natural sweetener you like.
To be honest, I have no problem eating really healthy, but I have a really bad sweet tooth, especially for chocolate, and nothing really combats that, not even dark chocolate, & the only thing I can recommend are granola bars, 100 calorie snack packs, skinny cow desserts, & lean cuisine desserts, all of which are still processed, but at the end of the day are still better than eating a 500 calorie dessert. Plus, you can look up a ton of low-fat, low-carb, low-calorie dessert recipes online...Basically, there's a ton of information you can find just browsing/researching online. Good luck.

Does anyone know what refrigerated egg replacer is?
vegan meatloaf recipes image
Nichole
I am vegan and came across a recipe for vegan meatloaf that says to use refrigerated egg replacer, but I have never heard of a refrigerated egg replacer that is vegan. Has anyone else?
Answer
if obviously just a manufactured egg substitute in some recipes egg is necessary so i guess vegans would need some sort of alternative

Is there such thing as "vegetarian" meatloaf? Can you help provide a recipe?
Terry 81
By meatloaf, I mean something that sort of resembles a meatloaf made from ground beef (except using soy flour or some other vegetarian ingredient). It can contain eggs and/or milk-- no need to be vegan. Thanks.
Answer
Here's the meatloaf recipe I use...I found it on vegcooking.com. The ironic thing about this is that I HATED meatloaf when I was a meat-eater, but I like this version (go figure!). Enjoy!
~Mama's Mock Meatloaf~
Better than what mom used to make. Serve it with ketchup, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced (optional)
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 packages beef–flavor Gimme Lean Beef
1/4 cup oatmeal, dry
2 slices white bread, crumbled
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper
Coating ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• Sauté the onion and green pepper in the oil over medium heat until soft. Combine in a bowl with the ground beef alternative, oatmeal, bread, ketchup, garlic salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or your hands.

Here's the meatloaf recipe I use...I found it on vegcooking.com. The ironic thing about this is that I HATED meatloaf when I was a meat-eater, but I like this version (go figure!). Enjoy!
~Mama's Mock Meatloaf~
Better than what mom used to make. Serve it with ketchup, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced (optional)
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 packages beef–flavor Gimme Lean Beef
1/4 cup oatmeal, dry
2 slices white bread, crumbled
3 Tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. pepper
Coating ingredients:
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• Sauté the onion and green pepper in the oil over medium heat until soft. Combine in a bowl with the ground beef alternative, oatmeal, bread, ketchup, garlic salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix with a spoon or your hands.
• Press the mixture into an oiled loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the coating and set aside.
• Remove the loaf from the oven and turn it out onto a baking sheet. Spread the coating over the entire loaf. Cook, uncovered, for another 15 minutes.

How about a cheeseless pizza? You could make it yourself or order from a place like Little Caesars or Papa Johns (both have vegan crust and sauce). Or, Penne Vodka from Veganomicon (she uses almonds to get the creaminess that cow's cream would give). Chili and homemade cornbread is delish. I don't have an excellent chili recipe (or I would share), but this is my favorite cornbread:
http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Sweet-Cornbread-116185
(I use margarine, agave nectar, Ener-G egg replacement, and non-dairy milk. Turns out perfect)
Tamale Pie: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/vegetarian-tamale-pie-392881 (use soy cheese, same cornbread recipe on top. I cut the recipe in half.)
Veggie Pot Pies: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Veggie-Pot-Pies-295205
Asparagus Cashew Rice Pilaf: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Asparagus-Cashew-Rice-Pilaf-59752
And my absolute favorite, Lentil Loaf: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Really-Good-Vegetarian-Meatloaf-really-33921
(Ener-G and soy cheese work great. I like to use half BBQ, half spaghetti sauce in the recipe)
These are my favorites, hope you like them if you try them.

Vegans - I am looking for RECIPES for your most popular main dish with non-vegitarians.?
vegan meatloaf recipe whole foods image
Smart Kat
In other words, what vegan main course or meal would you serve to a guest who isn't used to vegitarian food?
Recipes or name of dish please (so I can look up the recipe)
I specify vegan because I don't want to use dairy, but I am not opposed to a little egg (for you vegetarians reading this question.)
Answer
My mother loves this recipe for mock meatloaf:
http://www.vegcooking.com/recipeshow.asp?RequestID=149&Search=meatloaf
I steam some broccoli and make a baked or mashed sweet potato and it is a delicious comfort-food meal.
My dad loves this recipe for soup:
http://www.vegcooking.com/recipeshow.asp?RequestID=1328&Search=black+bean
I can serve it as a starter or a whole meal. It can be paired with fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, etc. (all which can be made vegan!). I love the recipe because it gives a certain amount of spice to it, but you can go wild and make it super hot (which is what I like to do).
I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving. No one could tell it was vegan:
http://www.vegcooking.com/recipeshow.asp?RequestID=481
Here's a recipe for vegan gyros:
http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes.php?s_type=%2Frecipes.php&q=vegan+gyro&Search=Search&Searcht=Search
I am still on the fence about the cucumber sauce recipe, but it's quite good. If you're not opposed to a little dairy, you might want to buy the sauce from a store.
Those are the ones that recv'd rave reviews from some omnis in my life.
Good luck!

Do you have any vegan weight watcher recipes?

i wanna know the points
Answer
I don't know about recipies necessarilly, but the smartlife sausage tubes are really low in points. My boyfriend used a tube of that and a tube of the smartlife ground beef along with a block of vegan cheddar cheese (the brand name escapes me right now, but they sell it at whole foods) and some ketchup to make a pan of vegan meatloaf that was 15 points for the entire thing.

Do you have a recipe for homemade meatloaf?
vegetarian meatloaf recipe best image
Roxas of O
I want to try different varieties of meatloaf, but something of the originality. I don't want anything that is too spicy (and I know some people like to put some hot spices into foods). Any kinds of recipe's for meatloaf is okay, but please make it easy and simple.
Answer
First of all, I'm a vegetarian. Okay, I eat fish, but so what! If I were to start eating meat again (which, after 15 years, is unlikely), there are two places I'd start: a Monte Cristo sandwich (frikkin divine--with mango chutney or honey!) and the meatloaf my mom used to make.
Actually, it was late in entering our family meal repertoire, and it was courtesy of the soup mix from Lipton.
I'm sure the Alton Brown recipe is fantastic. Haven't tried it, as Alton was probably still trying to be a cameraman when I last ate meat, but if you want to try the Lipton one (which looks dang easy), check the link below. I'm including a second link, which, according to a person who lost the Lipton recipe, is the first one he/she's liked since. Good luck.
Oh yeah, and stop eating that wicked meat. Unless you REALLY like it.

What Vegetarian Meat substitutes actually taste like meat?
Adrianna C
My girlfriend is trying to eat less meat and I found a recipie for vegetarian lasagna, but it calls for meat substitute. Does this actually taste like meat?
Answer
Umm no, she does mean girlfriend. I don't know if you've heard, but some girls like girls. =P
I've never found a meat substitute that tasted exactly like meat, but I have had some that are so good that you don't miss the meat. I crumble tempeh into my vegan chili and it provides the meaty texture and comes out delicious. I fill lasagna with mushrooms and eggplant. I maake meatloaf with a blend of blak beans, lentils, and rye. I've heard that seitan also works very well in meat-centered recipes, such as vegan cheese steaks. I've never tried it because I am sensitive to gluten, but I've heard it's very good and meaty.

What to eat on a low carb diet such as Atkins?
beth
I am trying to do a low carb diet and I was wondering what should I eat in order to make the diet most effective and efficient? I know cut out all breads, pastas, sweets, etc...but what veggies are okay and what isn't? the obvious potatoes and other starchy vegetables I know. Can someone please fill me in or give me a website to refer to. thanks!
Answer
During the first 2 weeks, you can have several cups of salads. Jicama, cucumber, celery & radish marinated in sesame oil & hot pepper flakes with rice wine vinegar & artificial sweetener. Make a stir fry with Bok Choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, celery, mushrooms, shirataki noodles & your fav meats. I love eggs and could eat deviled eggs every day. You can smother omelets & meats with mushrooms & peppers & cheese. Meatzza - Meatloaf with pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, mozzarella) I prefer very thin sausage patties fried crispy with pizza toppings. Pork rinds & celery sticks are great crunch and can be eaten with dips (avocado/mayo/cayenne is my fav) & tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salads. I love love love my rotisserie and it makes the meats extra tasty. I cook a turkey every couple of months and make soup with the bones (add vinegar to leach minerals) and turkey salads. I'll cube up some turkey meat mix in a couple of raw eggs add cheese (and broccoli after induction) with cayenne powder & nuke a couple of minutes for nearly instant meal. Flax seed should be eaten 2T daily even in induction.
Ground flax seed (2-3 Tbsp) 1/4 cup of water, cinnamon, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle and nuke for 1.5 min. for hot cereal or 2 min. for more of a muffin type thing. Great low carb, high fiber treat.
After the 2 week induction, you add 5 grams of carbs per day every week and add a much greater variety of non starchy vegetables. Change your mindset - eat what you like to eat, just adapt it to low carb -
replace bread with lettuce
replace pasta with cabbage
replace rice with cauliflower
replace potatoes with brocolli
I eat all my favorite Chinese, Italian, even Mexican foods with low carb foods. Cabbage makes an excellent pasta substitute (for me) Make a lasagna with blanched cabbage leaves & thinly fried eggplant instead of noodles. Sugar free pasta sauce over fried cabbage. My fav is chicken cacciatore, I add greens & flaxseed or chia seed for body and also add pizza toppings - pepperoni, mushrooms, lots of mozzarrella. Alfredo sauce is also low carb.
I don't cook often. I usually make huge batches of food & freeze most of it. I cook meats 20-30# at a time (for just me) I have gone into the forums for recipes (especially when I first started low carb) I was shocked that fried "rice" made with grated cauliflower tasted just like it's name sake. Shirataki noodles are traditional in Japanese sukiyaki and low carb. I've heard faux mashed "taters" made with cauliflower & cream cheese can fool non low carbers. "potato" salad using cauliflower instead.
Hope I've given you a start, I just don't cook much but many recipes abound. Adapt what you've always eaten first (I bet someone has a recipe for it or low carb version) and then start exploring.
Chia seeds sound so expensive but 1# will make 10# food (when you can splurge some - Amazon.com has couple lbs. for $16 shipped to you. I buy mine in bulk - 24# for $6# with free shipping at getchia.com
I also order off Amazon - Lowrey's Pork Rinds 18 for $15 - they pop like popcorn and are portion controlled.
Faux tapioca - 2 cups of water, 5 scoops of low carb whey protein powder, stir together & add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 2 cans of coconut milk (or cream and added water during induction) & artificial sweetener if you like and mix it all in. Can be eaten after an hour but will be better tomorrow. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin and add to the faux tapioca for an even more nutritious pumpkin pie pudding.
(berries are lowest glycemic) Cheesecake - strawberry ice cream (frozen berries, cream, a stick blender) - pork rinds great crunch - i eat lots of fish for snack (fish "steaks" or mackerel in tins are favs)- avocado/mayo/cayenne dip - olives

I use Morningstar Farms crumbles in 2 of the recipes, but you can easily sub them out for another soy-free brand (like Quorn), use beans instead, or just omit them.
There are so many other recipes on Recipezaar, that is definitely my favorite recipe site. You can use the recipe filter to only include vegetarian meals. If you're a fan of meat substitutes, Quorn is my absolutely favorite and it's soy free. I use the tenders and naked cutlets in place of chicken in all of my favorite classic recipes.

If you're a fan of meat substitutes, Quorn is my absolutely favorite and it's soy free. I use the tenders and naked cutlets in place of chicken in all of my favorite classic recipes.
Cookbooks for beginners and/or college students?
Bookworm
My brother intends to move out of his dorm and into an apartment. He's never really cooked before (stuck with the microwave and toaster.) I see a variety of beginner/college student cookbooks, but I was wondering if people had suggestions.
He's not vegetarian/vegan and he doesn't have any dietary needs/allergies at this time. (Maybe he will depending on his roommates, but that's not set yet.)
What do you suggest?
Answer
There are some really good "3 ingredient" and "4 ingredient" cookbooks for sale (I think I saw the 4 ingredient one at Costco)
These are a great starting point & not very intimidating. And, of course, you can totally spice things up to taste!
(I'm not much of a cook either! LOL - please check out my meatloaf recipe question!)

Ousting eggs from baked goods
Eggs are used in baked goods for leavening, or lightness. They also may serve as a binder. The purpose the egg serves in the original recipe — as well as the amount of egg the recipe calls for — determines whether you need a substitute and, if so, which alternate ingredient will best serve the function of the egg in the recipe.
Flat foods such as pancakes and cookies don't rely on eggs for lift. In fact, in many cases, you can eliminate the egg without noticeably affecting the final product. That's especially true if the recipe calls for only one egg. If you do omit the egg, however, it's a good idea to add a tablespoon or two of additional liquid — soymilk, fruit juice, or water, for example — for each egg omitted to restore the recipe to its original moisture content.
When a recipe calls for three or more eggs — as many cakes do — the eggs perform a vital function and need to be replaced with an ingredient that can deliver a similar effect.
In recipes for baked goods that have a light, airy texture, replace eggs with an ingredient that provides lift. Any of the following ingredients can replace one whole egg in a recipe:
Half a small, ripe, mashed banana. This substitution gives the food a mild banana flavor, which can be nice in recipes for muffins, cookies, pancakes, and quick breads.
1/4 cup of any kind of tofu blended with the liquid ingredients in the recipe. Light or reduced-fat tofu cuts down on the fat and calories in the finished product.
1-1/2 teaspoons of a commercial vegetarian egg substitute, such as Ener-G Egg Replacer, mixed with 2 tablespoons of water. This product is a combination of vegetable starches and works wonderfully in virtually any recipe that calls for eggs. Natural foods stores sell it in 1-pound boxes.
1/4 cup of applesauce, canned pumpkin or squash, or pureed prunes. If you use these foods, know that, depending on the recipe, they may add a hint of flavor. If you want to give the food a lighter texture, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, because using fruit purees to replace eggs can make the finished product somewhat denser than the original recipe.
A heaping tablespoon of soy flour or bean flour mixed with a tablespoon of water. This mixture works similarly to vegetarian egg replacer.
2 tablespoons of cornstarch beaten with 2 tablespoons of water. This, too, works much like vegetarian egg replacer.
1 tablespoon of finely ground flaxseeds whipped with 1/4 cup of water. The flaxseeds gel and bind with the other ingredients.
Replacing eggs in casseroles, loaves, burger patties, and main dishes
Some recipes need an ingredient that binds all the other ingredients together. Eggs are famous for acting as the glue that holds meatballs, meatloaf, and casseroles together. Lacto vegetarian and vegan versions of these traditional foods need something to serve the same purpose. Fortunately, you have many options.
As you might suspect, your choice of ingredients to replace eggs in these types of foods depends on the degree of "stick" you need, as well as how the ingredient will blend with the other flavors in the recipe. Cooked oatmeal may work fine as a binder in a veggie burger patty, for example, but may not be a welcome addition to a vegetable casserole if you don't care for the flavor or texture that it brings to the dish.
If you're altering a traditional recipe, you have to experiment a bit to determine just the right amount of an ingredient to serve the purpose. A good starting point with most recipes in which egg acts as a binder is to use 2 to 3 tablespoons of any of the following ingredients (or a combination of them) to replace one whole egg. If the original recipe calls for two eggs, start with 4 to 6 tablespoons of egg substitute.
Tomato paste
Arrowroot starch
Potato starch
Cornstarch
Whole-wheat, unbleached, oat, or bean flour
Finely crushed breadcrumbs, cracker meal, or matzo meal
Quick-cooking rolled oats or cooked oatmeal
Mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or instant potato flakes
You can also try 1/4 cup of any kind of tofu blended with 1 tablespoon of flour or 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetarian egg replacer mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.
Replacing eggs in sandwich fillings, salads, and scrambled eggs
Finding substitutes for eggs that are hidden in recipes is one thing; finding suitable substitutes for eggs that are more visible in foods is quite another. Fortunately, tofu looks remarkably like cooked egg whites and functions in much the same way in several popular recipes.
You can use chopped firm or extra-firm tofu in place of egg whites in egg salad. Use your favorite egg salad recipe, but substitute tofu for the hard-boiled eggs. You can even replace regular mayonnaise with soy mayonnaise for a vegan version.
Cubes of chopped firm tofu are a nice addition to a mixed green salad or spinach salad, standing in for the customary chopped hard-boiled eggs. You can also add chopped or minced tofu to a bowl of Chinese hot and sour soup.
Try scrambled tofu instead of scrambled eggs at breakfast. Natural foods stores stock "tofu scrambler" seasoning packets, which you may also find in the produce section of your regular supermarket, near the tofu. Many vegetarian cookbooks give recipes for scrambled tofu. The recipes usually include turmeric to give the tofu a yellow color similar to that of scrambled eggs. You can also use scrambled tofu to fill pita pockets or as a sandwich filling on hoagie rolls.

Answer
To me Loving animals is a Great Reason to be a vegetarian. It is not hard to be one and keep being one. First you must make a commitment to yourself that you not going to eat their bodies anymore even if you like how they taste. You are going to put their lives before your taste buds. I think loving animals and remembering that will keep you going. The first month is the hardest and only because you are used to eating animals. It is habit like anything else. Every day decide what you are having for breakfast . That is easy, Breakfast:cereal, oatmeal, toast,waffles, pancakes, english muffins, donuts, also mock breakfast meats as veggie bacon , veggie patties etc.
Lunch: make a sandwich ( no meat), a bean burrito, bean taco, veggie wrap, humus, falafel on pita, salads, soups, use mock meats as veggie burgers, veggie dogs with beans, veggie sausage etc
Dinner: Pasta a zillion ways, marinara, with pesto, alfredo,prima vera, with beans, veggie lasagna, or have sauteed or roasted veggies over rice, a curry dish, use mock meats to make almost any "meat dish", stews, soups,casseroles, potatoes( fried, roasted, mashed, boiled), tamales, veggie meatballs, veggie meatloaf with mashed potatoes, Tofurkey with pecan cranberry,salads, and even veggie sloppy joes.
These are just a few ideas... eat fresh fruits as apples , bananas, berries and drink fruit juice as OJ fortified with calcium
snack on nuts as almonds, peanuts, cashews, ect
snack on raw veggies as baby carrots or celery ( and use salad dressing as a dip) , I eat lots of raw veggies as well as cooked ones
If you can begin to change to soy or almond milks(they all taste different so it will be trial and error) I like Regular unflavored Silk ( refrigerator section) and Almond breeze chocolate (not refrigerated)
Things to avoid anything with Gelatin, anything with L-Cysteine, Carmine, and Confectioners glaze( the last 2 are bug guts found in lots of candies), avoid any beef, chicken or animal broths in soups and many times in rice dishes, and in cheese make sure it says non animal rennet ( otherwise the cow is killed as animal rennet comes from their 4th stomach).
I would say start here and everyday think to yourself I will not eat an animal today. Soon you will not even think of ever eating one again because your heart is in it and the more you know, the more commited you will be. Do not panic if you make a mistake , just fix it for the next time and keep going.
Good luck and stick with it ( I read some of your other questions and I would say do not try to be a vegan yet, yes you can begin to buy non leather shoes and bags as what you have wears out, and use products not tested on animals, but do not put that much pressure on yourself all at once)
Please email me if I can help or answer questions about any products.
I also suggest you look over PETA's website and read all as well as
check out vegweb.com for recipes
One last thing Vegetarians do not eat any type of Fish ever including shellfish. Fish are living animals until they are killed and gutted for someone to eat them and absolutely not vegetarian. You probably know that, but some people are confused.

Have you ever been to a vegetarian potluck?
vegetarian meatloaf gravy recipe image
Daughter o
Did you just love it? Was it at an SDA church?
Yes, I've been to an Adventist potluck and they are almost always with very very few exception vegetarian! SDA ladies know how to cook really good! Yes, I love vegetarian potlucks! Although I am not a vegetarian, I sure love vegetarian potlucks over the ones that serve meat!
Answer
I am an SDA also and have enjoyed / cooked for many vegetarian potlucks. Unlike traditional potlucks and family reunions where fried chicken, sloppy joes and meatloaf are the staples. I know there are many veggie cooks that use meat substitutes but I don't recall seeing many at our potlucks. However, the one exception is Special K loaf with carmelized onion gravy - yum yum.
One of the ladies makes the absolute best stuffed shells with tofu, fresh chopped spinach and homemade tomato sauce. Most of the ladies at my church are excellent cooks and I always look forward to the next potluck. It also gives me an excuse to try new recipes.

Fun & Unique Ground Beef Recipes?
vegetarian meatloaf recipe with cottage cheese image
Shamaii
Okay, let me start off by saying I love to cook.
But things like Spaghetti and Meatballs, Meatloaf, Chili, we have that all the time.
That bores me.
I have 1 basic package of ground beef. (I'm not exactly sure how many pounds that is)
I'm basically open to anything, but since it's about 3:30 where I am now, it has to be done by 7:30 at the latest.
I'd appreciate recipes with basic ingredients, but if I have to run out to the grocery store, I will.
It has to be able to feed 3 adults and 2 teenagers.
So if you could find something like that, it would be very helpful.
No one is allergic to anything, or has any vegetarian/vegan rules.
Myself, I'm 13.
So I need something that's not too hard, but not too easy either.
I've been cooking for a long while, so I know the basics.
Plus I like a challenge.
You can post the recipe down below, just be sure to post the ingredients and process too, or else I can't really use it.
Or you could give me a website(s) with recipes.
Just make sure it's something unique and fun, not something basic.
When I cook, I like to make it special and different.
Well, thanks for all your help. xx
Answer
MANICOTTI :
(This is incredibly easy....)
-- Saute' onions and garlic in oil until translucent. Add about a pound of ground beef and ground pepper. Cook till meat is done. Drain. Allow to cool.
-- Mix with ricotta cheese (or half ricotta and half cottage cheese). Stuff into the shells. Place the shells in a greased baking dish.
-- Cover with Spaghetti Sauce (home-made or canned). Cover with Parmesan and/or Mozzerella. Can use romano cheese as well.
-- Bake at 350 F until the cheese is browned and the sauce is bubbling --- probably 30-45 minutes.
~~
ALSO, the recipes on this page all look interesting and i suppose taste equally good!!.... (tried a couple myself... ;)))

Veggie
I'm a vegetarian. What are some simple recipes?
Yaz
I recently bought tofu and a few broths from whole foods. I didn't even know what I was doing when I was grocery shopping. Anyway, please let me in on some good recipes and/or vegetarian cookbooks.
Excluding the obvious of course. i.e. SALAD! Haha. I need some real meals. Also, I don't eat fish or shellfish because I am allergic. Keep in mind I am 16 (going on 17) so simplicity is key.
Answer
What about a tofu scramble. You can use it the same way that you would use eggs. I go on tofu binges often so I cook it so many different ways. There are so many different types too, silk or firm are my favorites.
For a tofu scramble it is simple I will give you 2 recipes. One I make is a soy scramble, use soy or tamari. I saute some minced garlic, onions, carrots until tender then add the tofu and scramble it like it was an egg, then top with soy, salt, pepper, and for me always some hot asian chili paste or sauce and green scallion If you have black bean add it with the veg. Another one is to use Balsamic, oregano or basil and the some peppers if you like. More italian or greek influence. So now you have the basic try your hand on a scramble. Another thing I make is chili, I use the tofu like ground turkey or beef. I cook the onions, garlic, spice then add tofu and beans and more spice. You can even make a burrito scramble and put it in some whole wheat tortillas for breakfast or lunch. Tofu curry is always good, tofu with ginger, scallions, peanut oil and soy cold is good. It is good in noodles. I always make tofu curry with eggplant, longbeans, garlic, and thai green curry with a little kabocha pumpkin. The skies the limit with what you can do, make a tofu and veggie meatloaf or a loaf with chickpeas and veggie or lentils and veg. Good luck!

Does Walmart sell Imitation Meat?
vegetarian meatloaf recipe boca image
GirlWithTh
I am trying out the Vegiterian life, and so far I like it, so I was wondering if Walmart has imitation meat?
Answer
Walmart has a small vegetarian section, normally by the breakfast foods for some reason, which includes Boca burgers. I personally don't care for them, the homemade version is much tastier and cheaper as well.
Homemade boca burgers:
1 cup lentils
2 cups water
1/2 cup onion
1 egg
2 - 3 tsp steak seasoning
1 cup oatmeal
Cook the lentils in the water until soft, 30 min to one hour. Smash with a potato masher, fork or a stick blender. (I like the potato masher best.) Beat the egg and add it and all other ingredients, mix well with your hands, like a meatloaf. Shape into patties and fry like a burger.
Note: If mixture seems too wet, add a little flour. Brown lentils are best but you can only buy the green ones at walmart. They will work also but don't get quite as soft when cooked so they don't mash as well. I've used them plenty of times however. You can get the brown ones at any Whole Foods. Both kinds are super cheap, yes, even the ones from Whole Paycheck.
Here's another recipe for tacos made with lentils, it's not completly veggie but I just use water instead of the chicken stock. You can also use it in burritos.
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/tasty-lentil-tacos/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Article
You can also use TVP as a substitute for meat but Walmart does not sell it normally. It comes in a dry form and is made by Bob's Red Mill. Amazon sells it for a good price. You soak it then use it like meat in soups, chili and spaghetti sauce.

vegetarian food helpp?
Amber
okay so im a vegetarian
and im getting tired of the stuff i
make and i want something
thts yummy
tht i can make easy
i dont eat meat dairy(yes tht means no chesse), eggs and any animal by products
Answer
What I do is Veganize regular recipes. I do not know what you are tired of eating frequently so it is difficult for me to suggest something new for you. So I can suggest a few good recipe sites for you that I use. You can also purchase a new Vegan cookbook and try the recipes. There is also a new line of Vegan products I can suggest because those are very yummy and easy and quick to prepare. You can make most any recipe Vegan. I have yet to come across a meal or recipe that I have not been able to veganize. You can make Vegan Italian Sausage subs, Vegan "Chicken" Fettucini Alfredo, Vegan Salsbury Steak, Vegan Meatloaf, or Vegan Ruben Sandwiches with Lentil Soup. Some nights when I am in a hurry I make the Gardein Tuscan Breasts, Steamed Broccoli, and baked Sweet Potatoes for Dinner. You can also make Tacos out of Boca Soy Crumbles. You can also make Sloppy Joes out of Manwich Sauce (Which is Vegan) and Boca Soy Crumbles. You can serve the Sloppy Joes with Sweet Potato Fries. Publix and Whole Foods Markets sell Frozen Sweet Potato Fries which are very good. Gardein makes a Vegan BBQ 'Por" substitute that you can just heat up and make BBQ sandwiches out of which also goes great with the Sweet Potato Fries that I mentioned. I also make Vegan chili in the crock pot with Boca soy crumbles. Since you did not specify what you are tired of eating I hope that I did not suggest things that you are tired of eating since I have no idea what your weekly menu already consists of. Hopefully, I have helped give you some easy but new ideas.

What meals could I make using lentils apart from soups?
vegan meatloaf recipes easy image
hannah
Answer
I have found two really good lentil recipes that I like a lot. One is for a vegetarian 'meatloaf' and the other is a broccoli lentil and rice casserole. There are many other recipes for lentil casseroles you can find on the internet. Indian dishes also often use lentils in curries, you can find these recipes by searching for Indian Daal recipes.
Lentils are also good for making veggie burgers or vegetarian sloppy joes.
Here is the link for the lentil loaf recipe:
http://www.food.com/recipe/really-good-vegetarian-meatloaf-really-33921
I usually add more tomato sauce than the recipe says. Sometimes I also sub the egg out with flaxseed (1TBS of ground flaxseed + 3 TBS of lukewarm water + mix until gooey= egg substitute for just about any recipe, including baking).
Also I like to spread ketchup over the top before I put it in the oven.
Here is the link for the casserole:
http://theliberalvegan.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/veganmofo-broccoli-lentil-casserole/
I am not vegan so I sometimes substitute parmesan or other cheese for the nutritional yeast and just use real butter. I've also made this recipe with asparagus instead of broccoli, or both together and it is very good. There are similar recipes on the internet but this is my favorite so far because it only takes one dish and is so easy to make, you don't have to precook anything, you just mix it all together and stick it in the oven.

I usually add more tomato sauce than the recipe says. Sometimes I also sub the egg out with flaxseed (1TBS of ground flaxseed + 3 TBS of lukewarm water + mix until gooey= egg substitute for just about any recipe, including baking).
Also I like to spread ketchup over the top before I put it in the oven.
Here is the link for the casserole:
http://theliberalvegan.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/veganmofo-broccoli-lentil-casserole/
I am not vegan so I sometimes substitute parmesan or other cheese for the nutritional yeast and just use real butter. I've also made this recipe with asparagus instead of broccoli, or both together and it is very good. There are similar recipes on the internet but this is my favorite so far because it only takes one dish and is so easy to make, you don't have to precook anything, you just mix it all together and stick it in the oven.
Vegetarian meals made by (and for) a teen?
26242.
My mom is not supportive of my vegetarianism, so most of the time I'll have to cook my own meals. I need recipes for some simple meals with EVERYDAY INGREDIENTS.
I can handle breakfast on my own, but I'm desperate for lunch and dinner recipes. Lunch would have to be something pre-made and packable.
I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, so there's no need to substitute dairy or eggs.
Thank you so much!!
Answer
Hi, great choice to become a vegetarian. I am also a teen and have been a vegan for almost four years now. I am still the only one in the whole entire family of 100+ meat lovers, so as you can imagine I had to be extremely focused, determined and self motivated to pull it off. I remember my first days as a vegan asking around on-line and I never got any satisfactory answers, so I had to learn it the hard way. Through that experience I decided to help others and share my knowledge with you.
FYI WITH THE FOLLOWING RECIPIES YOU WILL GET ALL THE VITAMINS YOU NEED. HOWEVER YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE SOME VITAMINS AND PROTIEN POWDER ON THE SIDE! Don’t forget to regularly see the doctor.
